Fish Trip Cafe

One of the best things about living in Europe is I can get a lot of kind of cheese.

I love cheese, I feel very happy every time when I walk into a cheese shop, it’s like Disneyland to me, and I feel like Mickey Mouse (Mickey Mouse must love cheese as a mouse, I guess).

I picked up Chinese leaves for this salad, because Chinese leaves have firm & crisp texture, mild & delicate flavour and it doesn’t hijack the great flavour of blue cheese. Also, this leaves are very low-calorie, good source of vitamin C and potassium, so I can enjoy the cheese flavour without concerning my diet.

Add the sliced Chinese leaves into the bowl and mix with the blue cheese cream.
